Personal Favourites; Panic Room

Another one of my favourite thiller films is Panic Room, a 2002 American thriller film directed by David Fincher and written by David Koepp.

The film stars Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam and Patrick Bauchau.

The plot is about a mother and daughter taking refuge in a safe room during a break-in of their home by three robbers who are after millions of dollars stored in a safe.


 Panic Room is one of my personal favourites, because it is linked to reality therefore viewers are more likely to relate which makes them feel in suspense. It adds tension, as the daughter suffers an asthma attack and cannot get the safety she needs as the robbers are restricting her. There is also a sense of despair as poeple who tried to help the mother and daughter ended up getting killed, on a lighter note one of the robbers turns in favour of the mother and daughter and helps them escape.
